Dabhoi Junction railway station (station code:- DB) is the main junction railway station in the Indian city of Dabhoi in Vadodara district, Gujarat, India. It falls under Western Railway's Vadodara railway division.
Dabhoi Junction railway station is at a distance of about 36 km from Vadodara. The station is about 161 years old and was once the largest narrow-gauge railway station in Asia. Although few narrow-gauge lines remain in India, because most have been converted to broad gauge, this is one of the remaining unchanged lines. Steam-powered trains for Miyagam Karjan, Chandod, Vadodara operate here.
The station was rebuilt in 2020. A new structure with three tracks and a modern underground platform has been built.
The PratapnagarâÂÂDabhoiâÂÂChhotaudepur line is now fully electrified. And Miyagam Karjan-Dabhoi gauge conversation + electrification works are done as in February 2023.
Now the PratapnagarâÂÂDabhoiâÂÂEktanagar (Kevadiya) line has been electrified. This new line was inaugurated on 17 January 2021.
ChhotaudepurâÂÂAlirajpurâÂÂDhar new line + electrification work is in progress. It is expected to be completed in end-2026.
The Electric Locomotive Workshop in Dabhoi, Gujarat, is a modern facility under the Western Railway zone, primarily dedicated to the Periodic Overhaul (POH) of electric locomotives. It marks a significant transformation of Dabhoi's identity from a world-renowned narrow-gauge hub to a key player in India's broad-gauge electric rail network.
The workshop was developed as a turnkey project by Rail Vikas Nigam Limited (RVNL) at a cost of approximately â¹184.31 crore. It was specifically designed to handle the maintenance and heavy repair (POH) of electric locomotives as part of the Indian Railways' mission for 100% electrification.
